Yes. There was a "magician's caboose" at the end of the circus train sequence. Quote:
"Ghostbusters" used an Aga Levitation to raise Sigourney Weaver off the bed. I always wondered exactly how they did that. It didn't look like your average "special effect." Quote:
"Just You and Me, Kid" features George Burns as a retired Vaudeville magician, if memory serves. I seem to recall Brooke Shields being levitated to the ceiling to hide her at one point. Carl Ballantine also makes an appearance in that one...I remember his magic on the McHale's Navy TV show, too. He (Ballatine) also appeared on Harry Anderson's "Night Court" as a desreputable magician who'd been Harry's idol in his youth. Quote:
And although not a theatrically released film, Doug Henning filmed a version of "The Magic Show" after the show closed on Broadway. The illusions from the show are there (most of them) and some of his later work was substituted for the others. Just to have his wonderful work archived on DVD is great. It's got a special spot in my collection. Yes! Although their changing of the plot to remove the "revenge" angles and the dropping of various songs, replacing them with songs with a "magic" theme seriously cheesed me off! Quote:
Is it Geoffrey Rush now? I'd heard Sean Connery was interested in that script which deals with Houdin's trip to Afghanistan to help quell the revolt. (Fictious names and events of course and the magician doesn't come out very well in the original book.)

You got that right, Mandrake. A bullet to the brain would have been much more reliable. As one movie critic said about the Bruce Lee kung fu movies: "Why don't they just SHOOT the little blighter?!?" Steve

Ah, yes..."Two on a Guillotine;" Caesar Romero as the Great Duquesne. I've seen that on TV a couple times.
I have an old copy of "Famous Monsters of Filmland" with stills from the film. I loved 'Duke's' house. Steve

Caesar Romaro played the Great Randini in Charley Chan on Treasure Island. The villan was Dr. Zodiac.
There is a lot of magic in both versions of West of Zanzabar. Of course there is the movie Magic. There is a war time Roy Rogers movie where Roy operates a Thayer Dr.Q induction turbin for a sideshow mind reader. Almost all Orson Wells later films contain some magic. The Kay kisser,Bella Lagosi,Peter Lorre clasic You'll Find Out is suspiciouly to a Great Merlani plot, but I've never found any mention of Clayton Royson in any credits.

And then you have David Bamberg (Fu Manchu) who made several mystery films, and Bela Lugosi as a magician in one of his films with the East Side Kids.

Hey...Chandu...that's another one!
Actually it was, I believe, "Spooks Run Wild," or it might have been "Ghosts on the Loose" (released in the UK as "Ghosts in the Night"). In one of them Lugosi played a magician (maybe in both; I don't recall for sure). Steve

Another addition to the list...
In "Shakes the Clown" (hailed as the 'Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies'), Bobcat Goldthwait does a birthday party and is shown presenting the Magic Coloring Book and Strat-O-Spheres. Dan Wolfe, aka. "The Amazing EARL" |

How about the movie "Dave"?
Kevin Klein, acting as the president of the united states, pulls a quarter out of a child's ear.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |

Can't believe no-one has mentioned this great film yet:
"as good as it gets" One of the best films from the last years I think The woman (Helen Hunt?) has a date one evening and the guy vanishes a cigarette. Looks pretty cool.
Deal cards, not drugs!

Call me a dork, but I do remember the movie "Saving Silverman" having magic in it. It's kinda at the begining where the dude from american pie hits on the snobby chick and gets rejected.
And Val Kilmer does do a very good coin roll in Tombstone!!! Pants
Buckle up... it makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.
